A Quick Tip by smurfwreck

Probably one of the easiest of Alan Moore's works to adapt, it's also probably one of the least successful for screwing up the tone of the original comic.

Dear god, what a mess!

This is a perfect movie should one choose to teach a course on how to fail at successfully adapting a screenplay from another work. This film is a hideous, horrible mess. It doesn't play well, it doesn't look good, it's poorly writen, badly directed and has plot holes you could sail the Nautalis through. It's a pity, cause the source materiel for this was an excellent graphic novel called, oddly enough, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1. … more

Watchable And Fun, But Not Outstanding

"The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" is a decent flick. It seems somewhat crammed together and I agree with other reviewers that some of the characters seemed forced on the viewer.

There is just something about Sean Connery, I think he is at the point in his acting career where he is doing things that he just enjoys and that reflects in the film. I will admit there are some strange bed partners in this production: … more

A mixed bag that never quite adds up.

Pros: Some may like the FX Cons: Continuity errors, Some big plot and logic holes. The Bottom Line: Some may like it, but it is a film with issues that is badly in need of guidance and structure. Plot Details: This opinion reveals minor details about the movie's plot. In an alternate universe, Victorian England and the world is on the verge of war in 1899. Evil forces led by someone known as The Phantom who unbeknownst to the … more
